Scope of Practice

What My Coaching Includes (and What It Doesn’t)

My work as a dating and relational skills coach focuses on education, skills-building, and personal development, not psychotherapy or clinical treatment.

​

As your coach, I help you:

​

• Clarify your values, needs, and patterns in dating and relationships

• Build relational skills such as communication, boundaries, emotional awareness, and intentional dating

• Explore self-concept, confidence, and attachment patterns from a coaching and psychoeducational perspective

• Practice new ways of showing up in connection through structured reflection, feedback, and skills exercises

• Create and follow through on practical, realistic plans aligned with your goals for love, connection, and personal growth

​​

I draw on my graduate training as an MSW candidate and clinical intern to inform my understanding of human behavior, relationships, and personal change. However:

​

• This coaching practice is separate from my clinical internship and is not psychotherapy.

• I do not provide mental health diagnosis, treatment for psychiatric conditions, or crisis intervention.

• Coaching is not a substitute for individual therapy, group therapy, or other mental health services provided by a licensed professional.

​​

If you are currently experiencing severe depression, active suicidal thoughts, psychosis, addiction crises, or other significant mental health concerns, or if you are seeking treatment for trauma or a mental health disorder, I strongly encourage you to work with a licensed mental health professional. I am happy to recommend that you seek out a licensed therapist alongside or instead of coaching, depending on your needs.

​

Coaching with me is best suited for individuals who:

​

• Are generally stable and functioning, but want to grow in how they date, relate, and connect

• Are interested in reflection, feedback, and structured practice

• Are ready to take action in their own lives between sessions

​​

My role as a coach is to support and challenge you toward your goals within this non-clinical, coaching framework—while staying within ethical and professional boundaries.
